TOKYO —

Pin-up model Aki Hoshino, 31, appeared as “Orange Day Princess” for fruit importer Sunkist at an event held Monday in Shinjuku. Promoting Sunkist’s oranges, Hoshino said, “Vitamin C rejuvenates your skin.”

Asked about her plans for marriage, she answered: “I’d like to marry by 40, which is the age when I’d look good in a wedding dress. Like oranges, please ‘eat me’ before I go bad.”

Guess having her selling mikans just wouldn't be as appropriate.

Why is it everytime I see Hoshino I have a flashback to those days when I was a kid and we would fill the water balloons only half-way. That way when they hit you in the mug, they would wrap all the way around your face and give your ears a good spankin' ! Yep, them were the days !
